"Dream Weaver" by Linda Gock

wow! That is truly beautiful! She looks gorgeous! Is this done with pastel on velour paper? I have that paper, but nothing seems to turn out well with it. I think Rembrandt pastels are much too hard for it. What type of pastel do you use (if you actually used it)? Gorgeous image!

Linda Gock replies: "It's just plain black paper with Prismacolor pencils, you can get quite a rich result when you layer it thickly. Thanks!"

I love how all your pictures seem to defy gravity. (her dress is lovely btw)

Oh my God - this has so magical colours! I love the perfect symmetry in this picture, and the dress looks as if it had sprung out of a dream. Well sorry, today I'm not in a mood of giving constructive comments, so you have to be happy with what you get: A lot of applause!

I will take this first comment slot and add it to my belt... or i suppose I can just say good job lilke the outfit.... ON MY BELT!.... ok I'll go now....

This is very beautiful, the gold color and the dress go so nicely together. And this might sound odd, but I really like the way you draw feet.

Linda Gock replies: "You've made me so happy! *sniff*"

Hey wow i really like the character you drew named Bakah that you got from another girl. Not to mention your a fantastic artist i was wandering if you were up to it to maybe draw me a picture.....Email me if you are willing to do it.

Linda Gock replies: "Thanks so much for dropping by. Unfortunately I don't do requests at the moment, commissions and trades get priority."

What struck me first on this pic is the vibrant colors, especially the richness of the burgundy and the gleam of the gold. I am in awe that you used colored pencils. You inspire me to practice more with mine.

Also, I so admire your skill with the movement of fabrics and costume design.

The pose on this isn't as dynamic as some of your other figures but I don't feel that takes away anything from this piece since the embellishments from the ribbon and weaves provides plenty of eye-catching movement.

One thing that might give it more impact would be to darken the background just a little. The black has a slight flatness. That's probably just the way the paper scanned but a little adjustment in Photoshop could fix that, no problem.

Thats beutiful

That’s beautiful! And it’s SHINY!

i love the colors her face and her dress
